I'm blogging for awareness for chronic illness and those who live with it on a daily basis. I'm hoping to bring awareness for myself and to educate others with illness or loved ones of someone who is ill.

Chronic Illness Challenge Day 8

Where do you see
yourself in five years?

To me that seems like such a deep question, because even
though I’m sick I have big hopes for my future. In five years I’m hoping I’ll
have graduated from nursing school and have found a job at Children’s, OSU, an
oncologists office or an infusion center. I really want to actually be oncology
certified nurse but that will take time even after I’m out of school to get but
I’m hopeful.

Another big goal I hope to have filled by then is getting a
service dog because I get dizzy so often I feel like a service dog would
broaden my horizons. And it would make me feel safer when I have to be alone in
case I fall and hurt myself when my boyfriend isn’t home. I understand it would
be difficult to have a service dog and work as a nurse but I feel like I can
make it work somehow. I’m not sure how but I’m really going to try.

And In five years I’m really hoping I have traveled to Japan
once. I love Japan the culture and just everything is so different from
America. I’ve been in love with all things Japanese since I was eleven or so.
When I manage to go to Japan I really also want to see the ramen museum, I
think it is one of the most random things I’ve ever heard of. But I also
really, really like ramen. I’m hoping to go to Japan several times before I die
because one trip just wouldn’t be enough.

Hi everyone, I'm Kali. I know there are many people out there with illnesses exactly like mine and they might be looking for answers or a little insight and I want to try to help them. I know when I was looking for people out there with similar illnesses it was hard to do. Mainly because a lot of people with chronic illnesses like to just keep to themselves. But I feel like if I put myself out there that's one more person that's a little more educated and understanding.
